I am so sorry for a long absence without giving you a heads-up! I have not been doing very well physically for the past couple of weeks. But, that is for the most fabulous cause that I had hoped for months, so I don't complain! (*hint*) I don't know if it is part of the symptom or what, but my crafty bug is basically nonexistent at this moment to the point I am even surprised how little interest I have in anything crafty. My sewing time has been replaced by my couch potato time - sleeping, and watching the TV, movies, and occasionally playing Nintendo DS.. lol! I so wish I could be more productive but I take it it's the time for me to take a break from sewing and my crafting mojo will come back naturally as I get done with this phase.

My lovely sister-in-law Katie shared this photo with us just now. I am so grateful of my great family overseas from the bottom of my heart!!

Due to my not-so-good physical condition, I have decided to ask for a break for November for Super Penguin Quilt-Along. I am starting to feel much better, so I should be able to design some blocks for December though ;) Thank you for all of you who are following along!! Speaking of superbuzzy, don't miss out their 15% off store wide sale this Saturday!!

And I would like to offer a 15% off store wide sale as well for my little etsy shop until the midnight of Cyber Monday (Nov.26th) with coupon code: Cyber.

I hope you have a lovely rest of the week! If you are in the US, have a great thanksgiving!

Oh my gosh Ayumi I can't believe your wonderful news!!!! Congratulations to you and Joe. I'm so excited for you! I am very sorry this first part hasn't been much fun - I can totally understand having had a similar experience. Hang in there. In my case I was blessed with the easiest baby ever after the tough pregnancy, so I hope that's the case with you. Take it easy. Mwah, xoxoxoxo!

Oh my goodness I am so excited for you, such lovely news. Sorry you feel bad but fingers crossed that part will be over quickly! My sewing mojo came back once the sickness was over and now we get to do baby sewing :-)

Congratulations!!! I bet you'll be back to your old (but rounder) self soon. And you'll get that second trimester energy and nesting urge that may make you more productive than ever! Right now it's great that you're taking it easy.

Well someone in the partnership is thriving! That is always amazing to me. I have no idea what they live off when you feel so rotten. Do what you can to get through. All of us are praying things continue to go well. I hope your Japanese Thanksgiving was enjoyable.

Oh Ayumi! congratulations! I'm so happy for you, and I certainly hope that the icky feeling passes quickly. I totally understand not feeling the urge to craft - I was the same way! (it does get better!)

Oh, Ayumi, just look at all of us happy "aunties," trying to decide what to sew/knit/crochet for the little Ayumi or little Joe! Sending many happy wishes your way every single day! (And geez, your SIL Katie and her son took a great, fun pic there!!!)

I am so happy for you all! It is a fantastic journey. Even though the ride can be a little bumpy from time to time, it's been a blessing! Take it easy rest while you can, it eases the queasiness. :-) Little happy dance!!!!! <3

Congratulations to both you and Jo on your fantastic news.For the first 3months of both my pregnancies the house could have fallen down and I wouldn't have cared!Fortunately, it soon passes and all the fun begins

This will be the best project ever! You will get your mojo back. Now it is time to look after yourself and enjoy this special moment, even if you don't feel physically well right now. I am happy for you!

Oh, wonderful news!!!! Hopefully you will be feeling better soon, I am in the second trimester and I got my sewing mojo back recently after a pretty dry spell! That's a darn good excuse for delayed November blocks for Super Penguin QAL! Congrats again!

oh congrats! I was sick the whole 9 months...I'm hoping that you are feeling well soon. It's hard not to be able to craft. But soon you will be creating the cutest crafts we've seen because crafts for little ones are a whole other level of cuteness. lol

:) Congrats on your "not feeling so well" at the moment. Happy health to you, too! Your crafting mojo will be back soon - you just need extra rest right now because you're doing so much behind the scenes work!

So very very happy for y'all! That is just wonderful, wonderful news Ayumi. Hope you round the bend and start feeling better soon. I remember quite well feeling awful and having NO sewing mojo. It will come back. Just take care of you! :)

Congratulations! I'm a long time reader but always to shy to comment. I am just on 16 weeks along now and completely understand losing the craft bug for a while there - those first 3 months really took it out of me and I didn't feel like doing much of anything.

Ayumi, here's wishing you a fantastic feel-better year. You are my very favorite blogger and crafter. You are very talented. Your little one will be very stylish and teachers wil have the best gifts ever I am sure.Hoping you feel much more well soon!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! My name is Ayumi. I love sharing my crafty journal and other little anecdotes in my life here. I am a mother to a baby girl and a wife to my husband from Seattle. We live in a small apartment in Tokyo. I hope you enjoy being here :) Welcome♪
